Turf Equipment Technician
Maplewood Country Club is located 15 miles from New York City. Maplewood Country Club, located in the heart of Maplewood, NJ traces its roots back to 1903, when a group of local residents formed a community recreation club that would evolve into today’s member-owned country club. Originally known as the Maplewood Field Club, the organization offered tennis, baseball, and social activities before expanding into golf with the construction of its 18-hole course in 1919, designed by Alfred Williams. The club officially adopted the name Maplewood Country Club in 1953, reflecting its growth into a full-service private facility offering golf, tennis, swimming, dining, and family recreation. For more than a century, Maplewood Country Club has remained a cornerstone of the community – blending tradition, camaraderie, and a deep respect for its historical setting.
